Jobs may come slowly back, but fraction of people and families will be permanently damaged in the process. People are not like rubber bands that return to where they were.

The effects can be generational when families have children.

I get that and am personally for way more support than the paltry 1200 ea that has been sent out so far. I'm just saying the loss of jobs here was artificial where every other depress/recession it's come out of systemic reactions and problems. As this goes on longer it starts to act more like a normal one though I'll admit since businesses start to fold and go under based on their fixed costs meaning the jobs are actually lost.
